<h1>Displaying and formatting titles and axes</h1>
<p>You can create titles for a graph or various graph components, and you 
 can change the titles that appear on a graph, including the font and text 
 size. Titles include:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Title of the graph</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Subtitles</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Footnotes</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Axes names</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can automatically update a title or part of a title with variable 
 information, such as the name of the user who executes the report, the 
 date and time the report was created, and so on. These are called dynamic 
 titles. The table below provides shortcuts to use in a dynamic title.</p>
<h2>To display and format titles</h2>
<ol start="1" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Run a report, and display it in either Graph view or 
 Grid and Graph view.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Graph</B></span>. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the graph and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Format</B></span><span>. 
 </span>The Format: Graph dialog box opens.</p></li>
</ol>
<ul><ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If DHTML is 
 disabled, click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Go</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ul>
<ol start="3" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Format</B></span> 
 tab. If DHTML is disabled, select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Format</B></span> 
 link.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Do one of the following:</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>From the left 
 drop-down list at the top, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Titles</B></span>. 
 From the next drop-down list, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All 
 Titles</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Title</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Subtitle</B></span>, 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Footnote</B></span> to specify the graph 
 title to format. Depending on the type of graph, you may also be able 
 to format the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Category Axis Title</B></span>, 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Y1 Axis Title</B></span>, or<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> 
 Y2 Axis Title</B></span>.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 If you select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All Titles</B></span>, you 
 can format all titles on the graph at one time, but cannot change the 
 actual text of the titles.</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs4">If DHTML is disabled: From 
 the drop-down list, under <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Titles</B></span>, 
 select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All Titles</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Title</B></span>, 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Subtitle</B></span>, or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Footnote</B></span> 
 to specify the graph title to format. Depending on the type of graph, 
 you may also be able to format <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Category 
 Axis Title</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Y1 Axis Title</B></span><span>,</span><span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"> <B></B></span><span>or</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Y2 
 Axis Title</B></span>. Then click the check mark.</p></li>
</ul>
<ol start="5" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">To display the title on the 
 graph, select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Show</B></span> check box.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Modify the name of the title 
 as desired. You can use dynamic titles using shortcuts; see the table 
 below for the text you need to type to achieve a dynamic title.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Specify the font type, size, 
 color, and effects to apply to the selected title.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs5">Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span> 
 to update the graph and close the dialog box/panel.</p></li>
</ol>
<h2>Shortcuts for dynamic titles</h2>
<p>You can create dynamic titles for a graph by typing a shortcut in the 
 title. A dynamic title is automatically generated every time a report 
 is run. You can use multiple shortcuts in the same title, and combine 
 static text and shortcuts.</p>
<p>For example, if you type <span class=Code>Profit Forecast - {&amp;CREATIONDATE}</span> 
 in a graph title, when the report is executed the date that the report 
 was created is automatically displayed in the graph title, as follows: 
 Profit Forecast - 6/10/08.</p>
<p>The table below lists the shortcuts you can use to create dynamic titles 
 for a graph. </p>
